Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community

You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?

Other items you may want to include in their package (candy, candle, lotion, etc.) are beyond the $20.

2. How to sign up?

Sign up by indicating your interest on the thread and then PM me (Joan7356) your mailing address.

I must have this information by the closing date of this swap for you to be included.

3. Mailing Deadline: May Day -- May 1, 2013

Be sure to include a card/tag indicating your name/Splitcoast username so your SS knows who to thank.

There is plenty of time to get your package in the mail by this date.

A DC # is required.

Send it to me as I plan to update post #1 with this information.

Again, the mail date is May 1, 2013 not the receipt by your SS.

4. Stay connected!

Check in on this thread a minimum of 1x/week with a simple hello or chat daily.

I will be tracking your presence.

5. Complete the survey in post #2.

Once completed PM me the post # of your survey.

I will then indicate in post #1 which post includes your survey for future reference.

When the thread is closed, do not make changes to your survey. Some people begin shopping immediately upon receipt of their SS's name.

6. I wish, I wish, I wish...

As you complete the survey, you will see that I have requested online stores and local stores. Some people prefer not to shop online and therefore when listing items you would love to receive, be sure to list those from the local shops, too.

We have all been in SS swaps where we receive items we won’t use or requested not to receive. Please fill out your survey in detail so as not to leave any doubts to your wishes.

7. What to send?

The more detail you provide, the better the experience.

It should go without saying do not send items that your assigned SS does not want.

Upon receipt of your SS package, post a thank you. She spent time and put much thought in your surprise package. Plus, we all love hearing about what you received!

If you can't commit and fulfill these obligations, please do not sign up.

Just wanted to post this info as stated by the moderators of Splitcoast for your info:

Since Secret Sister swaps are typically swaps done one-on-one, each sister is treated as a kind of hostess. We have the "main" hostess who gathers all the info and distributes the names and info. But, the sisters are ultimately responsible for sending their goodies.

That being the case, please note that Secret Sister swaps are treated by the moderators just a bit differently than most swaps. The following rule applies to all participating Secret Sister swappers:

Hostesses that fail to return swaps will be banned from the entire Splitcoaststampers site.

In other words, each person participating in the secret sister swaps is considered a hostess. Failing to uphold your end of a secret sister swap is considered stealing (and ultimately mail fraud if the postal system is used) and will not be tolerated.

By posting this, we don't mean to ruin the fun of Secret Sister swaps. We just want all participants to be aware that giving is just as fun as receiving and getting gypped just plain sucks. Please consider this when signing up to participate in a secret sister swap.

9. Mailing Preference:

There will be two groups -- one for US mailing only and the other for US/Canada/overseas mailing.

Let me know your preference when you sign up.

10. Questions?

PM me if you need more information from you SS, or

If you have questions specific to how this swap works, or

You have had the same SS for several swaps and would like to make sure you have someone new

Please complete the survey in detail. PM me the number of the post that contains your information .

I would love a spot....I love May Day, I remember as a kid we always would do a May Pole dance!!!

Survey details to follow this weekend when I have a chance to focus on it. I will send you a PM when I do. thanks!

Thanks for joining. I remember May Day! When I was younger I lived in a neighborhood of boys. I was brought up to make May Day baskets, fill them with goodies, deliver them to the doorstep of a friend, ring the doorbell... and when they answered the door... run. They then were to chase, catch, and kiss. I did May Day baskets with my kids when they were little, too. I use to also deliver May Day baskets to adult GFs but they didn't have to do the chase. Fun times.

I will have to do the survey later. I am leaving tomorrow to see a friend that I met on here way back when. We will be having a little crafting retreat of our own. I will try to check in but I am not taking my laptop so no promises. This is going to be so fun...thanks Joan for hostessing!!
